Music isnt seen
« on: June 12, 2007, 07:37:15 PM »
I installed Rockbox on my 5.5 80gb last week and had it working fine.

then I got the bright idea to delete the default folder structure of F01\xvcf.mp3 and recopy all my mp3s in my directory structure.

Initially I created a new folder called 'music' and copied my existing naming structure to it.  
EX. \.rockbox\music\%artist% [%year%] %album%\%track% %title%.mp3

I attempted rebuilding the database and seemed to complete successfully however nothing shows up.

I then just copied \music and all its contents to \ipod_Control\music\%artist% [%year%] %album%\%track% %title%.mp3

and again tried rebuilding the database to no avail.

Any suggestions on how to get my naming structure to work?

Both of the folders you tried to use are not where you should be putting your music. The .rockbox folder is for Rockbox internal files and the ipod_control folder is for Apple OS internal files.

You should must create a folder called /music in the root of your player and put your music there.
